Jon Teitel's Interview Series: Former Delaware Head Coach Steve Steinwedel
Next up on Jon Teitel's interview series of the best coaches by school is former Delaware head coach Steve Steinwedel, who led the Blue Hens to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances and two conference titles. His 1991-92 outfit, which finished 27-4, is considered to be the best team in school history.
Jon Teitel: You played at Mississippi State in the early 1970s. How good were you in college and how did you make the transition from player to coach?
Jon Teitel's Coaches Interview Series: Old Dominion Head Coach Blaine Taylor
In his most recent coaches' interview, CHN writer Jon Teitel spent some time with former Montana and current Old Dominion head coach Blaine Taylor. Taylor, whose Monarchs won the CAA's automatic bid this past season and beat Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, led the University of Montana to a pair of NCAA Tournaments in his seven seasons at the helm.
Jon Teitel: You played point guard for Coach Mike Montgomery at Montana from 1979-81. What was it like to play for him and what was the most important lesson you learned from him?
Jon Teitel's Interview Series: Georgia State's Lanard Copeland
Recentl, CHN writer Jon Teitel spent some time with Georgia State basketball legend Lanard Copeland, who after spending three years in the NBA went on to have an illustrious career in Australia. In his time overseas Copeland even played with the great Andrew Gaze, who some of you may remember for his one season as a Seton Hall Pirate in 1988-89 (lost the title game to Michigan in overtime). To this day Copeland remains one of, if not the greatest, Panthers to grace the hardwood.
Jon Teitel: Why did you choose to go to Georgia State?

I watch this once a month. Always a good watch and i chuckle at something everytime!
Comedies rank among the toughest movies to review properly, and the better the comedy, the harder one struggles to explain exactly how and why it works so well. In the end, all that matters is that you laugh. The best comedies make you laugh over and over, even after screening them a dozen times. This Is Spinal Tap certainly belongs among the ranks of the all-time greats: an epic put-down of rock and roll music that simultaneously perfected the mockumentary sub-genre and took the careers of everyone involved to another level. Its quotable lines are a big part of its success, as is the evergreen nature of its target (pop music's eternal pomposity will always need a good pasting) and the sheer talent of the people involved.
Director Rob Reiner took an improvisational approach to the material: setting up the basic premise of a scene and letting his cast run with it to see what developed. Through that lens, we get a front-row seat to the disastrous tour of "one of England's loudest bands," as they stumble through blown gigs, entourage dysfunction and the specter of advancing age that threatens to bring their pubescent fantasy life crashing down around them. Front-man David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), lead guitar Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) and bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) experience all manner of self-inflicted humiliations, dragging bandmates, groupies and scheming Yoko Ono clones along for the ride.
The basic premise makes its own gravy, so spot-on that no less a luminary than Steven Tyler accused them of making a personal attack. (Granted, he was loopy on heroin at the time, but still.) The band's songs are lousy through and through, but the right kind of toe-tapping lousiness that could easily climb the charts. Their various pratfalls and hijinks -- from getting lost underneath the stage in Cleveland to the infamous Stonehenge monument -- feel too outrageous not to have some basis in truth.
The band richly deserves everything they get, aided by their narcissistic entitlement and an overall befuddlement that blinds them to just how dreadfully wrong everything has gone. They've earned it all in part because they have no real musical identity of their own. In one of the film's more ingenious conceits, they seem to switch roles with every new trend, going from skiffle mopheads to psychadelic hippies to big hair heavy metalists as fast as you can say "costume change." 80s metal certainly makes an inviting target, but by stressing their willingness to change on a dime, the film makes them an ageless cipher rather than just a send-up of a particular era. They become every band we've ever watched fight their way through an interview, every pretentious star convinced that the party will never stop. Sooner or later, every band will end up where they're going, the movie silently promises, and when they do it won't be any less absurd than this.
And as the late Roger Ebert pointed out in one of his typically astute reviews, we actually envy them that journey. As battered and bruised as they are -- as used-up and threadbare a their world is -- it's still a world largely devoid of consequences, where they can keep banging out their turgid hits in front of adoring fans and pretending they're the center of the universe. Some small part of us quietly wishes we could join them in those half-empty arenas, rocking out in a crumbling Shangri-La that pretty much only exists in their minds. It plants just enough sympathy to endear these holy fools to us, and to move This is Spinal Tap into the realm of a beloved classic. We'd seen mockumentaries before (Woody Allen was quite fond of the format), but never with the perfect mixture of affection and ridicule that this one produces. It proved so ideal that Guest based an entire filmmaking career around the formula, finding all manner of weird subcultures to alternately celebrate and destroy. He proved quite adept at it, but even he couldn't match what they achieved here: a brilliant pop culture icon, a savage comment on rock's excess, and one of the funniest movies of this or any other year. Yes Nigel, you did go to 11. Where would cinematic comedy be if you hadn't?
I watch this once a month. Always a good watch and i chuckle at something everytime!
Fear Not, Tapheads: Michael Bay is doing a remake/reboot of This is Spinal Tap as we speak . . .
I am 95% certain that you are joking ObiWannaJones. However, the 5% that isn't is making me want to throw up.
Seems like an odd pairing but, Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis have been married 30 years.
I have never heard an audience laugh so hard (before or since) as when the 18" Stonehenge monument floated down and landed on the stage.
It is interesting to me how the standards for the ratings of movies have changed. Unless I'm forgetting something, there is no way this would be rated R if released now.

The IT and IT-enabled services sector is keeping its fingers crossed over the impact of visa curbs imposed and new ones proposed by the United States on the Indian IT firms in the name of Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
US restrictions will make it difficult for Indian professionals to take up onsite work on the projects as travel to the US will become harder.
Moreover, the use of staffing firms instead of their own employees for US assignments is resulting in higher costs and lower margins, eroding their competitive advantage.
More and more firms are forced to opt for sub-contracting works to temporary consultants when their own IT professionals are sitting idle. The State, for the first time, registered an IT turnover of Rs. 53,246 crore, crossing the magic figure of Rs. 50,000 crore last year.
Of this, exports contributed 76 per cent (Rs. 40,646 crore) and the balance 24 per cent (Rs. 12,600 crore) came from the domestic market, with industry growth on a par with the national average. The industry is currently providing direct employment to close to 3.18 lakh people and another 10.12 lakh are indirectly dependent on the sector.
The export volume of the State constitutes 12 per cent of the total software exports from the country, making it the fourth largest in terms of volume.
The IT industry has represented to the Centre the troubles it was facing as a result of the steep visa fee hike, instances of visa rejections, delays and excessive requests for evidence during application scrutiny.
"We are examining the representation and will take it up at an appropriate level with the US Government. The curbs come as a setback to the industry here," was how Secretary, Department of Electronics and IT, J. Satyanarayana, reacted when contacted by The Hindu.
As part of the proposed restrictions, companies with more than 75 per cent workforce comprising H-1B visa holders would be banned from bringing in any additional workers and a new fee has been proposed for those that get 30 per cent or more of H-1B visa holders.
This calls for readjustment in major firms.
"There is an increase in the number of visas in absolute terms on the plus side. But there is a little problem for bigger companies as they will have to opt for readjustment of their plans," Mr. Satyanarayana said.
IT and ITES Services Association of Andhra Pradesh president V. Rajanna was confident that the exports from the State will maintain at least the present level, if not show any major increase. "We can maintain performance on par with the national level in spite of the curbs," he said.
The ITSAP, he said, was pushing the concerned including the Government and the Software Technology Parks of Hyderabad to come up with results so that a clear picture on the impact could emerge.

Got a tip for us? Let us know
Oct 12, 2001, 12:12 PM | #1 |
The Guardian has an interview with Steve Wozniak. Of note, he echoes out opinion on the Newton line:
The Newton was probably the most special machine that I have ever used. I regularly took outlined notes with regular handwriting. I would handwrite things like "Sara dentist Tuesday 2pm", click Assist, and have the calendar appointment set up. I would even handwrite "call Jim" to make a phone call, without the structured approach of dialling numbers on my phone. That machine truly freed my head to work in easier ways. Ah... so true. Still waiting for a proper Newton replacement... |

Amen.. We've not progressed in 4 years..
The only advances made since the Newton's demise are size/performance, (the iPaq is small, while still being about equal to the Newton as far as hardware.), and color. If the Newton had a formfactor similar to the iPaq, and was color, *even* with NewtonOS 2.1, it would be the most capable PDA on the planet. Period.
Damn you Steve.. |

Not allowed but a strong:
The Newton was dropped at the moment it -finally- had a usable hardware configuration (MP 2100) and the most important additional software reached its best incarnation (MoreInfo version 5).
Whenever I use it for day-planning, note-taking, voice-recording or fetching email with my cellular phone, Palm users (or users of any other brand) are baffled by the unbelievable hardware features it offers and the software wizardry it performs. Okay, it's a hefty gadget but the screen is large and I like it that way. The handwriting-recognition is awesome (it takes the Newton appr. 2 weeks to get used to your quirks, in stead of the other way around...) But unfortunately, it was too much, too soon, too expensive... And Steve didn't like it :-( |

I don't want to break into semantics, but one would think that if the message you repeatedly post about the "smartphone on steroids" were true, and you really were an insider or informant or had any idea what you were spewing, you could at least spell resurrection correctly. But beyond that, I think we get the point already.

Well Done Brad Bowler
I am slightly fed up with seeing that comment left everywhere.
So we get the idea and please please stop it. Please don't take that the wrong way, I just think 4 or 5 times is enough. Thanks, Guy Wickenden

i don't ignore any pesky informants
hey those so called "insiders" accurately predicted a few products on this site, which i have belonged to or logged onto since the beginning of macrumors.com
remember the iBook, the firewire iBook, the Cube, the dual USB iBook, the quicksilver G4, and the iPod ...they were all leaked here or at apple-insider first with many posters like you telling them to shut up becaue they were stupid, or dreamers, or full of it and yes, to be fair, about half the rumors i have seen from informants have not come out to be true including the G5, the LCD iMac, and a G4 iMac but hey, this makes this site fun and if you read every post like i do, or try to, apple has not put out one product without having us, the posters on macrumors, leak it out first |

$5,000 reward for son of slain Manchester parents; computer-generated image released of beardless Dion
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is posting the reward for fugitive Matthew Thomas Dion, 38, of Manchester.
Manchester police want to question him about the murders of his parents, Robert and Constance Dion, whose bodies were found March 24 inside their burned out 210 Mooresville home, as well as the arson.
Dion lived with his parents but has not been seen since the fire, which was determined to be arson. During the investigation into his parents' murders, police discovered the child pornography, which led to a warrant being issued for Dion's arrest.
Dion is described as 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Police say he may have altered his appearance to avoid arrest. For that reason, the task force requested the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) create a composite image of Dion without a beard. Authorities released that image depicting him clean-shaven.
At the time Dion disappeared, he was reportedly driving a 2009 white, four-door Nissan Altima with New Hampshire license plate number 341-0587.
The U.S. Marshals Service advises the public not to attempt to apprehend Dion, who should be considered armed and dangerous. Instead, report any information to the U.S. Marshals Service's Concord office at 225-1632 or call 1-877-WANTED-2 or text "NHTIP" with any information to TIP411.

(aged 85)
Political party | Democratic |
Gillespie V. "Sonny" Montgomery (August 5, 1920 – May 12, 2006) was an American politician from Mississippi who served in the U.S. House of Representatives 1967–1997. He was also retired Major general of the Mississippi National Guard, who saw service during World War II.
Early life[edit]
Born in Meridian, Mississippi, he graduated from Mississippi State University in Starkville in 1943 and was a member of the Beta Tau chapter of Kappa Alpha Order. [1] He served in the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant during World War II and the Korean War. He retired from the Mississippi National Guard as a Major General in 1980.
For his military service, Montgomery received the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device, Army Commendation Medal and Combat Infantryman Badge.
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Chairman, House Veterans' Affairs Committee
Montgomery represented part of Meridian in the Mississippi State Senate between 1956 and 1966. He was elected to Congress from what was then the 4th District in 1966 after Prentiss Walker, the first Republican elected to either house of Congress from Mississippi since Reconstruction, gave up the seat after only one term to run for the United States Senate against James O. Eastland. Montgomery defeated Lewis McAllister, also of Meridian, the first Republican elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives since Reconstruction. Walker ran again for the seat in 1968 but polled only 30 percent of the vote against Montgomery, who was reelected a total of fourteen times and served for thirty years until 1997. His district was renumbered as the 3rd District after the 1970 census.
Montgomery was one of the more conservative Democrats in the House. Most notably, he was known for being somewhat more "hawkish" than other members of his party.[2] He was very popular in his district, usually winning reelection by some of the highest margins in the country. Although his district was already turning Republican at the national level, Montgomery usually faced "sacrificial lamb" opponents on the few times the Republicans even put up any opposition at all. He even ran unopposed from 1970 to 1974, in 1980 and from 1984 to 1990. On four of those occasions--1972, 1980, 1984 and 1988--Montgomery ran unopposed even as the Republican presidential candidate carried the district in a landslide. Nonetheless, it was taken for granted that he would be succeeded by a Republican once he retired.
He was the author of the G.I. Bill of Rights that gives members of the service money to pay for college and was a lead sponsor in establishing the Veterans Affairs cabinet-level position. Montgomery gave a speech on the House floor in April 1975 in which he spoke against foreign aid to South Vietnam and said, "The South Vietnamese can blame only themselves for their present situation."[2]
Montgomery's greatest legislative victory was the enactment of the bill that bears his name: the Montgomery GI Bill . In 1981, he came to the forefront to lead the fight for passage of a new G.I. Bill. As a World War Il veteran, he believed that the country should provide educational benefits to its service members and that the combination of military service and a college degree would make these individuals valuable assets to the country. He also wanted to reverse the Department of Defense's declining recruitment efforts, which had dropped sharply in the 1980s, and improve the overall quality of the volunteers. Nearly half of those recruited during that time lacked high-school diplomas and the basic skills needed in a modern military. Congressman Montgomery saw that educational shortfall as a direct threat to America's military readiness and national security.[3]
As Veterans' Affairs Committee chairman, Montgomery led opposition to the Kerry-Daschle bill (Agent Orange Disabilities Act of 1987, S.1787) that would have required the VA to begin compensating veterans who contracted non-Hodgkins lymphoma and lung cancer a presumed service-connected disease. Montgomery asserted that "further studies were needed to prove a connection between various diseases and Agent Orange before the government should be held liable for disability benefits" despite several such JAMA published studies by the National Cancer Institute and the VA and one by the New Jersey Agent Orange Commission.[4] Subsequent scientific studies made connections between Agent Orange and Vietnam Veterans illnesses and the increased birth defects of their children. In 1991 Montgomery stood behind president George H.W. Bush at the signing of the Agent Orange Act. He had opposed a similar bill the previous year. After years of opposing Vietnam Veterans receiving disability for exposure to Agent Orange, he now appeared as their champion.[5] In the same year he authored the Montgomery Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1987, which effectively transferred control of the National Guard away from the states and to the Department of Defense by prohibiting state governors to withhold National Guard forces.
On September 13, 1988, Montgomery became the first congressman to lead the U.S. House in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance as a permanent part of its daily and morning business operations.[6] The day prior to his death, Congressman Gene Taylor introduced an amendment to a House Defense Appropriations Bill to rename the bill the Sonny Montgomery National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007. Following his death, James F. Webb Funeral Home in Meridian, Mississippi performed the funeral services. President George W. Bush ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half staff.[7] In addition, the U.S. House of Representatives canceled non-suspension votes on the day of his funeral. Montgomery was buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Meridian, Mississippi.
He was a delegate to Democratic National Convention from Mississippi in 1996. On November 10, 2005, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest American civilian honor, by President George W. Bush. [3]
A number of public projects have been named in his honor, including:
- A statue of Montgomery on the campus of Mississippi State University where he was Student Association President for the 1942–43 school year. A duplicate statue is located at the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum at Camp Shelby alongside Congressman Montgomery's personal effects from his military service in the Second World War and National Guard.
- The VA Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi
- The G. V. Montgomery Lock on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway
- The G. V. "Sonny" Montgomery Naval Reserve Center at NAS Meridian in Meridian, Mississippi
- The G. V. Montgomery Airport in Forest, Mississippi
- A Mississippi Air National Guard C-17 Globemaster III was named "The Spirit of G.V. 'Sonny' Montgomery." Montgomery became the third person in the United States to have a military fleet named in his honor.
- The G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery Center for America's Veterans at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi.

A tune inspired by the rough life of a pirate. Aargh!
This one comes from my band Bossfight's latest album "Caps On, Hats Off". You can listen to the whole thing at Spotify, Soundcloud, Last.fm etc!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Quite enjoyable! The 8bitalliance cast that I usually listen to has a starting theme of "Drunken Sailor", so I'm using this to teach them some "Pirate Manners" lol. We'll see if it works =P.
You can find the cast at 8bitalliance.com, the one I'm recommending it for should be up by the end of next week.
Cheers! Love the song =D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This track is just amazing. It certainly conveys a pirate feel and manages to sound very happy and upbeat through the whole thing. I can't wait to see more tracks like these. I love the chiptune style.

BULFINCH'S MYTHOLOGY: THE AGE OF CHIVALRY OR LEGENDS OF KING ARTHURCHAPTER XVIII. MORTE D'ARTHUR "And now the whole ROUND TABLE is dissolved, Sir Modred was left ruler of all England, and he caused letters to be written, as if from beyond sea, that King Arthur was slain in battle. So he called a Parliament, and made himself be crowned king; and he took the queen,
Guenever, and said plainly that he would wed her, but she escaped from him, and took refuge in the Tower of London. And Sir Modred went and laid siege about the Tower of London, and made great assaults thereat, but all might not avail him. Then came word to Sir Modred that King Arthur had raised the siege of Sir
Launcelot, and was coming home. Then Sir Modred summoned all the barony of the land; and much people drew unto Sir
Modred, and said they would abide with him for better and for worse; and he drew a great host to Dover, for there he heard say that King Arthur would arrive. NOTES: (1) Plunderers: the word is not now used. |

Significance and Use
3.1 These test methods are for the chemical analysis of mass fraction of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in silicon nitride powder. They are used in research, development, production, acceptance, and quality control of silicon nitride powders used to produce ceramic components with silicon nitride content.
3.2 It is assumed that all who use these test methods will be trained analysts, capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of mass fraction % of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in silicon nitride powder having chemical compositions within the following limits:
Element | Mass Fraction % Range |
| |
Carbon | 0.05 to 5.0 |
Nitrogen | 30 to 45 |
Oxygen | 0.1 to 1.5 |
1.2 Two test methods appear in this standard.
1.2.1 Total Carbon by the Direct Combustion-Infrared Measurement Method.
1.2.2 Nitrogen by the Inert Gas Fusion-Thermal Conductivity Measurement Method and Oxygen by the Inert Gas Fusion-Infrared Measurement Method.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

text: He was an anthropophagiac, and so he could never understand why, if other people could, say, eat green eggs and ham, why then could he not eat a woman if he so wanted? He shook his head back and forth as he sat in his armchair in his living room. The men that he saw out in the world every day wanted to eat women, and he knew this because he watched them chew at women's faces in big mouthfuls, and grab handfuls of women's buttocks, and as they did it say, Yummm, and, Mmmmm. The women, for their part, he knew they wanted to be eaten because he saw them on his TV-screen longing to be devoured and consumed and taken in every piece of themselves, and it was in their eyes and the hike of their skirts and the way they rolled their tongues around in their mouths. But, instead of doing what he so wanted, he sat here by himself every night, holding a bucket of chicken wings dowsed in ketchup with his imagination working harder than his stomach. It was ridiculous, he thought, a tear coming to the edge of his lonely eye. America is not beautiful, really, he saw now. He bit down on another skinny chicken leg in the blue bask of his TV-screen, and he wondered, why is it so hard in this world for a man to eat a woman?

Author Bio
Christopher Buckley
Son of conservative writer and pundit William F. Buckley, "the only child of parents who were very busy at becoming famous," Christopher Buckley grew up in Connecticut and was educated at various Catholic schools, including one run by Benedictine monks. Before heading for Yale, he worked as a deckhand on a tramp steamer and sailed around the world. At Yale, he edited the Yale Daily News and, at the age of 24, became managing editor of Esquire. In 1980 he was drafted by President George Bush as a speechwriter; his satirical first novel, THE WHITE HOUSE MESS, based on his Washington experience, was published in 1988. In 2008, Buckley wrote a regular column for the National Review, which was published on the back page of the magazine. However, he caused a serious stir in conservative circles when he wrote an article that appeared on a website during the heat of the presidential campaign, entitled "Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama." When Buckley offered to resign from the magazine his father had founded, his resignation was quickly accepted. When asked by Deborah Solomon of the New York Times if he had expected the magazine to accept his offer, Buckley answered, "Well, I--no. No, I didn't."Born and raised in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, Heller attended City College and flew 60 bombing missions for the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II. Out of that experience came CATCH-22, largely ignored by critics and public at first, but soon widely celebrated as the first truly comic war novel; he wrote a sequel to it, CLOSING TIME, in 1994. Heller worked in advertising and taught literature at his alma mater and at Yale; during the Vietnam War he was an outspoken critic of U.S. policies. In 1981 he contracted a rare nerve disorder, Guillain-Barre syndrome, which left him paralyzed for nearly a year, an experience he wrote about in his non-fiction book, NO LAUGHING MATTER. He has written a total of six novels and a volume of autobiography, as well as screenplays, scripts for TV, and one (not very successful) play. Toward the end of his life, Heller commented, "It used to shock me and alarm me and discourage me that there was a general decline of everything of value. But it doesn't surprise me anymore. It seems inevitable and natural and there's no way to resist it.'' Heller was married twice and had a son and a daughter. He died of a heart attack at 76.

Abstract | These are yet early days in the search for mechanisms that reflect concerns over both poverty alleviation and appropriate natural resource management in tropical environments. The search grows out of a rising awareness that answering the needs of these areas' human inhabitants may well be a sine qua non for environmental success, and vice versa. Frequently found on the "short lists" of planners, policy makers, aid donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and farmers themselves for such mechanisms have been non-timber forest products (NTFPs)— items such as medicinal plants, tropical fruits, and building poles, extractable from forest environments and inherently suited to tropical ecosystems (more so than annual cropping systems, especially in areas with poor soils). |

Portable Automatic Stretch Wrapping System
Flex LPA Low Profile Automatic
Flex A models eliminate the need for operators to attach and cut the stretch film. Simply place the pallet load on the machine, and pull a lanyard switch while backing away. The machine will perform the entire wrap cycle automatically without the need for an operator to tie the film tail to the load at the beginning of the cycle, and detach it at the end. This will greatly impact the efficiency of your stretch packaging operation by keeping your operators busy with other tasks while the machine is wrapping.
The Flex LPA Low Profile Automatic system has a 5,000 pound maximum load weight capacity. With an automatic wrap cycle for operator efficiency and a full surround deck to protect the turntable, this wrapping system is meant for the perfect blend of dependability and flexibility.
The Flex Series includes an automatic cycle to reduce labor, along with a structural steel frame for durability. Ensuring that the structure of the Flex Series is sturdy enough to handle all of the production requirements is imperative, that's why the Flex Series is built tough. With an easy to load film from side, the portable automatic stretch wrapping system Flex LPA is the perfect solution for wrapping needs.

text: Today a Kurdish family hit the headlines after the father of a 15-year-old schoolgirl who disappeared without trace 10 years ago was jailed for a minimum of 22 years after being found guilty of murdering her in a so-called "honour killing". Tulay Goren was killed on 7 January 1999 after falling in love with Halil Unal, a fellow Turkish Kurd twice her age, and running away from home to live with him. Her family disapproved because he was a Sunni Muslim while they were Alevis, a different branch of Islam. Police believe Tulay's body was buried temporarily in the back garden of the family home, but her remains have never been recovered. According to media reports, the family, originally from Elbistan, in south-eastern Turkey, adhered to the code of namus, or honour, practised in many rural communities there.

Eating disorders are often recognized by extreme emotions, attitudes and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues. In a culture obsessed with thinness, beauty, and dieting, it is often difficult to distinguish when one's beliefs or actions have become harmful.
Symptoms include:
Binge Eating Disorder is characterized primarily by periods of uncontrolled, impulsive or continuous eating beyond the point of feeling comfortably full. While there is no purging, there may be sporadic fasts or repetitive diets and often feelings of shame or self-hatred after a binge. People who overeat compulsively may struggle with:
Eating disorders can include a combination of the signs and symptoms of anorexia, bulimia, and/or binge eating disorder. While these behaviors may not be clinically considered a full-syndrome eating disorder, they can still be physically dangerous and emotionally draining. All eating disorders require professional help.

Shed Ten Years in Ten Weeks. Garv Null's Ultimate Anti-Aging Program. 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Before The Hudson Review sent me this latest batch of fiction to read, I found myself one fine Sunday afternoon in the local Barnes & Noble, killing time in the "How To Live Longer" section of the store, in part because I'm a hopeless hypochondriac, but mostly because it was the section from which I could most easily keep an eye on the parking lot as I waited for my ride.
